Chapter 1, Problem 47TAS
An airplane with an airspeed of 90 km/h lands on a runway where the wind speed is 40 km/h.
(a) What is the landing speed of the plane if the wind is head on?
(b) What is its landing speed if the wind is a tailwind, coming from behind the airplane?
(c) What would be the landing speed of the 90-km/h plane landing in a headwind of 90 km/h?
